The Independent quotes the Prime Minister who said he has written to the president of the Labour Party to initiate a process to elect a new party leader. He has also informed President George Vella of his intentions to step down.

The paper also reports on a protest organised by civil society NGOs on Sunday afternoon, calling for the immediate removal of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat. The paper says this was the largest turnout in past weeks.

Another story says that PN Leader Adrian Delia is planning to reinstate MP Simon Busuttil in the shadow cabinet following a reshuffle. The former leader is believed to have accepted the offer after a series of meetings between the two.
